I had a call from a user this morning, who was worried that the button (icon) beside update (the square one beside the second update heading) was red.
She had just been on line & the update had downloaded successfully ... same version as mine.
I got her to run the scanner, but nothing was found.
So, we are now left wondering why the update is red

to me, it sounds like automatic updates are turned off.. to turn them back on, go to "nod32 system tools", "scheduler/planner", and then, in the window that pops up, check the box at the top of the list for "regular automatic update"..
